Biography: Dan Brown is an American author who has gained international acclaim for his bestselling thriller novels, which blend historical facts, cryptography, and conspiracy theories to create gripping and suspenseful narratives. His works have captivated readers worldwide and have been translated into numerous languages.

Brown's breakthrough came in 2003 with the publication of The Da Vinci Code, a novel that explores the possibility of a hidden bloodline descended from Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. The book became a global phenomenon, spending more than two years on the New York Times Best Seller list and igniting heated debates over its controversial subject matter.

Prior to The Da Vinci Code, Brown had written three other novels, including Angels & Demons (2000), which introduced the character of Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor of symbology. Langdon has since become the protagonist in several of Brown's subsequent novels, including The Lost Symbol (2009), Inferno (2013), and Origin (2017).

Brown's novels have been adapted into successful films, with actor Tom Hanks portraying Robert Langdon in the movie adaptations of The Da Vinci Code (2006), Angels & Demons (2009), and Inferno (2016).
